Estate Agency and Conveyancing Expertise Working Together
One of the things that makes O'Hara Properties & Estates different is our close relationship with O'Hara Solicitors.
While you are always free to choose your own solicitor, many buyers appreciate having access to a trusted legal team that understands the transaction from the very beginning.
Because our property and legal teams work closely together, communication is often simpler, progress is easier to track, and potential issues can be identified earlier.
From viewing properties to receiving the keys, we aim to make the entire process feel more connected and less stressful.

FAQ
Frequently Asked questions
We make buying a home simple and transparent, but can appreciate there is a lot to know. Here are some helpful frequently asked quesitons to help get you started.
Can I register my property requirements with you?
Yes. Simply contact our team and tell us what you're looking for. We'll keep you updated when suitable properties become available.
How quickly can I buy a property?
Every transaction is different, but most property purchases take several weeks to complete. Factors such as mortgage approvals, property chains and legal enquiries can all affect timescales. Taking steps early, such as arranging your mortgage and obtaining a conveyancing quote, can help keep your move on track.
What areas do you cover?
We primarily serve Waterlooville, Portsmouth, Havant, Fareham and the surrounding Hampshire areas.
Can I obtain a conveyancing quote before I find a property?
Yes. Many buyers choose to obtain a conveyancing estimate before they begin viewing properties so they have a clearer understanding of the costs involved in moving. Our team can provide an estimated quote based on your circumstances and introduce you to our legal experts, helping you prepare for a smoother purchase when you find the right home.
Do I have to use your conveyancing team?
No. You are free to instruct any solicitor you wish. However, many buyers choose O'Hara Solicitors because of the convenience of having estate agency and legal teams working closely together.
BUYING AND SELLING YOUR HOME
Buying & selling
at the same time?
Many buyers also have a property to sell. If that's the case, our team can help you prepare for your next move from both sides of the transaction.
Whether you're moving to a larger home, downsizing, relocating or releasing equity, understanding the value of your current property is often the first step.
At O'Hara Properties & Estates, we can provide a free, no obligation property valuation and guide you through the selling process. We can also introduce you to our legal team for an estimated conveyancing quote, helping you understand the costs involved before you move.
By bringing estate agency and legal expertise together, we aim to make your move as smooth and straightforward as possible.
